Three years ago, because of one sentence from Johnny:
"She was too clingy, I had no choice but to be with her."
I deleted his contact information, threw away the gifts, and walked away.
Later, when we met again, he had become a top celebrity.
And I was still living a simple life in the countryside.
Someone mentioned me and asked:
"Do you still keep in touch?"
Johnny looked down at me as I lay on the ground:
"No contact, not familiar."
It was only later that I realized he had come for me from the very beginning.
1.
Three months after I quit my job to write novels in the countryside, I didn't expect to see Johnny at the village entrance.
When our eyes met, I was lying on the ground, tightly holding onto a goose's leg.
He was more mature and composed than four years ago, giving off a vibe that kept people away.
In my panic, I lowered my gaze.
"This is so embarrassing." My bangs covered most of my face, and the atmosphere was tense for a few seconds.
Suddenly, someone started laughing.
A girl standing next to Johnny laughed and asked him:
"Johnny, are all the girls in the countryside this interesting?"
Johnny ignored the girl, who felt a bit awkward and continued to ask:
"I heard you dated a girl from the countryside in college. Do you still keep in touch?"
The girl didn't know that the countryside girl she was talking about was me.
Johnny's expression grew even more serious. He turned and left, leaving behind a casual remark:
"We haven't been in touch for a long time, not familiar."
